White Spots after Seawater Bath are NOT Necessarily Vitiligo

Because of the strong ultraviolet radiation and the high-temperature climate, summer always makes people feel the heat is unbearable, so going to the beach or swimming pool has become the best way for people to relieve the heat. People who often swim near the beach will find a number of large and small white spots on their bodies after each swim. The appearance of white spots on the skin undoubtedly brings a heavy blow to people who pay attention to beauty.

White spots after sea bathing usually occur in summer, and those who swim in seawater for a long time may still belong to a kind of solar leukoplakia in nature. Summer skin after many sun exposures can appear in exposed areas, such as the chest's clearly demarcated hypopigmented spots, 0.2-2.0 cm in diameter size, sometimes can be fused into patches, with no conscious symptoms, usually too late autumn can fade on their own. There are many vitiligo patients who have sun exposure before the first onset, and vitiligo patients in the summer after long exposure to the sun will expand or will appear with new white spots.

And vitiligo is a pigment loss skin disease, the color of its white spots after seawater bathing white spots, porcelain white or pure white, and once appeared, even if out of the exposure environment, white spots may further expand or new white spots appear elsewhere in the body, the possibility of self-fading is not great. Therefore, it is important to note the difference between the two when white spots appear on the skin after sun exposure or swimming in the sea in summer. At the same time, patients who have been diagnosed with vitiligo, should pay attention to sun protection in summer and try to avoid sun exposure to avoid the aggravation of the disease.

The white spots on the human body skin are not necessarily vitiligo, patients once found on the body after the appearance of similar white spots, should be prompted to the regular hospital by experts and advanced diagnostic equipment to confirm the diagnosis, scientific diagnosis, and systematic examination, so as not to delay the treatment of vitiligo.
